ABSTRACT:  
 
Rather than looking for astrophysical dark matter, particle colliders can potentially create dark matter for study in the laboratory. I will describe how the Large Hadron Collider can be used as a powerful tool to search for dark matter, complementing other particle physics and astronomical approaches.
